[Mesa-dev] LLVM gallivm issue in Mesa 12.1.0

Yes, that is correct.

The issue is one of C++11 ABI mismatch.  If a public interface to a library
is C++ but contains no C++ std library data structures (rare) then it
doesn't matter but as soon as you put std::string in the API interface,
which virtually every C++ API does for one reason or another, then the
C++11 flag will need to propagate.  It doesn't matter for C++ code
consuming the LLVM C library interface though.

While it may be technically possible to build different objects in a
library with different c++ standards so long as they don't have any C++ API
interaction with each other, the practicalities of this are quite dangerous
I believe and just asking for some nightmare debugging scenarios.
